ORIGINAL POST, 1/5/24 - 5:19 p.m.: The Sto-Rox School District is currently working with law enforcement to locate a student with a disability who was dropped off at Sto-Rox Jr./Sr. High School this morning by ABC Transit.
Kayla Durler, 17, of Bradock was last seen at a nearby bus stop around 9:56 a.m. this morning. She is approximately 4’ 11” tall and was last seen wearing glasses, a green coat, black pants, pink shoes, and a purple backpack. Anyone with information on her whereabouts should contact Stowe Township Police at 412-331-4043.
As we communicated to ABC Transit on Thursday night, classes at the Jr./Sr. High School were scheduled to be conducted virtually on Friday. We are still trying to ascertain why this student was dropped off and not taken directly home. Sto-Rox School District takes the safety and security of students extremely seriously. Once administrators learned about this situation we immediately contacted law enforcement and started working with them to locate the student in question.
